What Is DUA Matcha Ritual a Dupe Of?

The fragrance behind DUA Matcha Ritual is Le Labo Thé Matcha 26 Eau de Parfum. It is a clone pairing built around matcha, fig and woody citrus notes. We’d start with that idea, then look at how each scent puts its own notes together.

The idea behind the comparison

Matcha Ritual follows Le Labo Thé Matcha 26. Matcha, fig, bitter orange, vetiver and cedar appear in both profiles. The short list makes the tea, fruit and woody balance a more useful comparison point than simply looking for another green tea fragrance.

How do their notes compare?

The named notes for DUA Matcha Ritual include Matcha, Fig, Bitter Orange, Vetiver and Cedarwood. Le Labo Thé Matcha 26 Eau de Parfum lists Matcha, Fig, Vetiver, Cedarwood and Bitter Orange among its own notes.

Use those notes as a guide when trying the pair. What matters is how they fit together: a brighter opening, a softer floral middle or a drier base can change the whole impression even when some of the ingredients sound familiar.

What would we look for in a sample?

We’d compare the fig with the matcha and bitter orange. If you prefer a drier tea scent, check how the fig feels once the opening settles.

If you can get samples of both, use a similar amount and give each one time on skin. Come back to the comparison later in the day, especially if the opening and the base appeal to you for different reasons.

Which bottle makes more sense?

The choice comes down to how much you enjoy this balance on skin and which bottle fits your budget. We’d compare the current offers for DUA Matcha Ritual and Le Labo Thé Matcha 26 Eau de Parfum, including the bottle size and delivery cost. Give a sample enough time before committing, especially if the opening is your favorite part but you are less sure about the finish.
